Another Fuel shut-off question

I'm planning on replacing this assembly and fuel line, but I've got a question. I did some cleaning and degreasing on my 9n this weekend, and I was going to take the assembly off to get a better look at it. I figured I would run the gas out first so I shut the valve off and started the tractor to move it out of the barn. I expected it would burn up the fuel in the sediment bowl rather quickly and sputter until the engine died.

Well that never happended, I was actually able to start and move the tractor several times. When I was done, the bowl was still full. I'm guessing the valve must not be closing properly, right?

When I shut off the fuel valve it takes about 2 minutes at idle speed (with a little "goose" or two) for the engine to die. If bringing into the garage, all garage doors wide open. Angelo.

It takes two or three minutes to use up the gas in the carb and line and shut down. Don't forget to shut off the key when done or you could have it stop with an open circuit and kill the battery.

If the shut off valve is working. You can turn off the valve and remove the bowl and dump it out. If the valve is not working gas will still be flowing when you remove the bowl...

I was assuming it would siphon out what was already in the bowl when the shut-off was closed, but I guess not. So anytime you want to remove the bowl, it's always going to leak out that fuel? Or is there a way to drain it first?

On average, how long does it take before the fuel runs out and the tractor dies? Maybe I didn't wait long enough.

Safety issue: It would be a good idea to wait until you have a cold engine to remove the sediment bowl to eliminate any possibility of gas splashing over a hot engine.

As the other poster said.. fuel leaves the tap, and then goes 'up' to flow out of the assemply, thus passing thru a screen ( or two ) in the process. If you run out of gas.. you will still have a 'glass bowl' full of it..

Simple to check the valve.. turn it off and then remove the bowl, or the line from the carb elbow..

Sediment bowl is below the fuel line. It never will run out!!! Think gravity fuel system.
